How Should I Wire This?

[ramsman421]

Ive got a optima yellow top up front and a kinetik HC800 in the back that will go to a 1000/1. I should run a wire from the optima positive to the kinetik positive to the 1000.1 positive and then each can be grounded wherever correct?

I would run both a ground and a positive in 1/0. Make sure to fuse both ends of the +

You need to run a fused wire between the two positive terminals.

It would not be a bad idea to run one between the negative terminals. It does not have to be fused.

In the positive wire from the back battery to amp, there should be another fuse.

BZZT wrong. 1/0 wire is going to have much less resistance than that of the body of a vehicle.

Not "much" less. Some less, yes, "much less" idk. If you have some proof, I'd gladly change my opinion.

All depends on that car/truck body/frame.
